A reception in honor of Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Dr. Bernhard Kahn. Leaders of the German Jewish community were present.
In his address Mr. Warburg described his impressions of his trip. He termed the efforts in Palestine heroic and spoke of the wonderful progress of the Russian colonization work.
Mr. Warburg will meet Sir Alfred Mond and Dr. Lee K. Frankel in Paris on May 28. He will confer with them concerning the work of the Jewish Agency Survey Commission of which they are the three commissioners. Mr. Warburg will sail for the United States on June 11.
When interviewed by a representative of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency concerning the opinions on Palestine ascribed to him by Paul Sandor in an article published in the Hungarian press, purporting to report a conversation between Mr. Warburg and Mr. Sandor while they were fellow passengers on the steamer Resolute, Mr. Warburg termed this report incorrect. “I am without weapon against people who desire to write,” he stated.
A cable to the “Jewish Morning Journal” from Berlin states that Mr. Warburg will meet Dr. Weizmann in Paris this Sunday. The “Morning Journal” also learns that Mr. Warburg is formulating a plan for the raising of a general fund for the next ten years which will include both the Palestine and Russian work.
